       <STRONG>insch</STRONG>,  <STRONG>winsch</STRONG>,  <STRONG>mvinsch</STRONG>,  <STRONG>mvwinsch</STRONG>  -  insert a character
       before cursor in a <STRONG>curses</STRONG> window

<H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       These routines insert the character <EM>ch</EM> before the  charac-
       ter  under the cursor.  All characters to the right of the
       cursor are moved one space to the right, with  the  possi-
       bility  of the rightmost character on the line being lost.
       The insertion operation does not change the  cursor  posi-
       tion.


</PRE>
<H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       All  routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon fail-
       ure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an  integer  value  other
       than  <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>")  upon  successful completion, unless otherwise
       noted in the preceding routine descriptions.

       Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor  move-
       ment  using  <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
       outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.


</PRE>
<H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
       These routines do not necessarily imply use of a  hardware
       insert character feature.

       Note that <STRONG>insch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvinsch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwinsch</STRONG> may be macros.


</PRE>
<H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
       These  functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
       Issue 4.
